    Depends on by whom and how long. The US produces a lot of things but also imports a lot of critical goods and materials as well.

    If Canada, Mexico, China, and the EU & UK all banded together for sanctions or embargoes? The US economy would be pushing daisies pretty quick. Especially if the actions were coordinated and did not give the US time to react and adjust.

    But the countries issuing those actions wouldn’t be in good shape either. Trade wars are a 2-way street.

      Why would anyone bother with sanctions? Nothing a foreign government could do would be worse than what our own is doing.

      Just wait it out and hope you manage to find a way to secure our nukes after everything disintegrates.
